Z Energy says it has a deliberate strategy to expand its network of sites offering Z DEC (diesel emission cleaner) making it easier for all drivers to fill up with diesel and exhaust fluid in one stop.
“Just over a year ago, we had 14 strategically located truck stops around New Zealand where Z DEC was available on the pump,” says Z Commercial GM Nicolas Williams.
“Since then, the Z DEC network has grown to include two more sites in the South Island, and a third just opened late last month in the North,” says Williams.
“The Z Washdyke truck stop, in Timaru, began with Z DEC in August last year, and the Z Templeton truck stop, in Christchurch, came online in September. Z’s third new site, in Sala Street in Rotorua, opened in April,” he says.
Williams says all of the Z truck stops offer fast and reliable payment terminals and are fitted with fast-flow diesel pumps to enable quick turnaround times for drivers.
At the 17 truck stops where the exhaust fluid is now available, diesel and Z DEC can be dispensed and paid for in one stop.
“By ensuring both diesel and Z DEC are available at one stop, and with the added convenience of being able to pay for both with Z Card, we’ve been able to create some real efficiencies for both drivers and our customers’ back office teams,” says Williams.
“Nearly half of our Z DEC truck stops are co-located with Z service stations so that one stop experience means drivers can combine refueling and comfort stops,” he says.
For Z, the decision to invest in its Z DEC network came down to supporting its customers’ changing needs and their drive to meet emission reduction targets.
“Z DEC is just another way Z is looking to deliver on its environmental and sustainability objectives. It’s about offering a product that more of our customers are looking for as they turn to cleaner emission vehicles,” says Williams.
